GREAT BEED has had a most pros
porous season since the opening of
spring, in fact the most prosperous in
her history. The citizens themselves are
the authors of it all. They set to work
early in the season and said that we
must have boom this year. The re-
suit was we have had boom. We
refer to this for the purpose of impress
ing it on the minds of our people that,
after all, whether Great Bend will
make large city depends wholly
and solely on us. We may talk as
much as we please about our excellent
geographical situation, and it is greatly
in our favor, but after all men make
cities. Casting ones eye over the map
he would naturally say that Leaven
worth ought to have a greater city
than Kansas City. And it would, had
Leayenworth had the same kind of
business men as Kansas. City. 1.-The

Berlin says: "ln Government circles here
the situation is regarded as serious. The
peaceful tone of the French press is not
assuring, as IL is evident the papers have
been officially ordered to adopt peaceful
attitude. There can be no question that
France is preparing military camps on the
German frontier. II remains to be seen
whether plausible reason can be given
for this.
THE Iatest reports from London indicate

A DISPATCH from Ottawa, Canada, says:
"The officials Of the Fisheries Department

dent of the United States that a fisheries
commission would be appointed at the next

STARTLING rumors come from Canada as
to the mental condition of Sir John A. Mac
Donald. IL Is said that his petuance I'M
der advice or contradiction makes the lives
Of the Ministers insupportable. The resig-
nation of Sir Charles Upper was due TO
the fact that he could not put up with Sir
John, and that the difficulties between them
eliminated in quarrel in a full Cabinet
Council. at which they shook their
fists in one another's faces. Since
that rupture no one except MIR.
Pope has had the least influence against
any views adopted by the aged Premier.
When Sir John heard after the Ontario de-
feat that Sir Charles Upper. who was in
England, had been telegraphed for. he
peremptorily ordered the latter TO remain
where lac was, and asserting that a plot
existed among his subordinates, he an
nounced that he would instantly resign UNI
less all consented to the elections. As his
resignation would have killed the Con-
servative party his colleagues made the
best of the situation and consented TO go 70
the polls.
